Shorter flight time and the costs of closing missile range

Would anti-ship ballistic missiles be more practical at ranges of 500 to 2,000 kilometres, with much shorter flight times?

The shorter flight helps targeting, but it sacrifices range advantage and may expose launchers to counterattack. Coordinated use with other forces is the preferred option in this discussion.

An engagement at 500 to 2,000 kilometres shortens missile flight time while giving up some of the weapon's range advantage. Launchers may then be within reach of the opponent's aircraft or cruise missiles, and other weapons could offer a more economical attack. The preferred use described here is land-based support for a coordinated attack by ships, submarines and carrier aircraft. That combination could attack from several directions and provide better information about the target's position. A separate accuracy example uses roughly 100 metres at about 5,000 kilometres: a lateral miss could land in the water and leave the carrier undamaged. An unsuccessful attack would also undermine the weapon's threatening reputation, although the threat still warrants defensive preparation.
